The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works. Told in language of great simplicity and power, it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal -- a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.

Here Hemingway recasts, in strikingly contemporary style, the classic theme of courage in the face of defeat, of personal triumph won from loss. Written in 1952, this hugely successful novella confirmed his power and presence in the literary world and played a large part in his winning the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature.

Poor Santiago deserves his place among unfortunate literary characters. Ernest Hemingway shows love but little pity for his protagonist, who spends three days at sea hauling in his fish – only to watch as sharks devour his catch. His tale is one of man versus nature, imbued with suffering and humility yet scarred by the death and devastation he leaves behind. Inevitably, the old man’s quest evokes Captain Ahab’s call in [b:Moby-Dick|1689450|Moby-Dick|Herman Melville|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1328834197l/1689450.SY75.jpg|2409320], even though the characters could not have been more different. I have a preference for Hemingway’s straightforward writing style.

I was not impressed, but definitely entertained. Good writing, it made me feel things, definitely. But at the end of the day... that is it. Just a single-afternoon short story about an old man having a very rough couple days at work trying to gain back some respect from himself. I hope he is fine, now.
